Panaji: Former managing editor of Tehelka Shoma Chaudhury arrived at a Goa court today to record her statement in the alleged rape case filed against the news weekly's founder-editor Tarun Tejpal.

Ms Chaudhury arrived from New Delhi in Goa last night and appeared before the Judicial Magistrate First Class Panaji today, where her statement would be recorded through the day.

Tarun Tejpal will also be produced in court later in the day as his six day remand in police custody expires.

Police are expected to seek extension of his custody for a week more.

Tejpal has been accused of allegedly raping a junior employee at a Goa resort last month.
